WHEN THE NATION GOES DRY. TVben the nation-wide prohibition amendment goes Into effect next July, a peculiar condition will be found in Washington, in that the properties used as embassies by different foreign governments will not be affected by the lav. " Embassy properties are what I termed extraterritorial, being part of the territory of the country lepresented. The United States has no jurisdiction over them, only at such times as the United States might be at war with a foreign government. Thus, while the Nation goes dry, the representatives of the different foreign governments can have their cellars stacked with liquor, can, Import more and can serve it to any &nd all whom they choose. There was no provision to meet the situation that could have been written into the prohibition amendment. When the t'nted States entered the world war the Washington embassies of Germany and Austria-Huneary nere taken orer by soldiers and members of the Washington police force and have been carefully guarded ever since. The contents of these two palatial residences have not been disturbed, but careful search was made at different times to secure documents that might have bearing on the plans and operations of the enemy, and as is wel known, considerable evidence was found that well served the United States Secret Service m Its operations.

GOOD LUCK EMERSON!

TTe hope that the Emerson High School basket ball

tam, which represents this section in the State Tournament at Lafayette, just knocks the everlasting daylights

out of those down-state fellows. It is more than sicken

ing to read the predictions made by the down-state sport writers and the dope-pickers. Not a one of them counts

Gary in the reckoning at all. They pick the Coon Hollow or the Smoky Ridge or the Jayville teams to win.

They can't see anything but the Poky Center or the Hickrille or the Ruoetown fives. Do you think they take the Gary team into consideration at all? Not so you can notice It. Now the Lake County boys always get up near the top notch in the state contests. Hammond. Gary, East Chicago. Whiting and Crown Point boys have always set a merry clip for the rest of the state in all branches of athletics, but the critics from down-?: at c never give Lake County credit for anj-thing. It is th same way in politics, business, society and every other hranch of human endeavor. Those fellows from downstate squint this way with their myopic vision and absolutely can't see Lake County at all. They are so infernally Jealous of Lake County that their very marrow rams green when the county or anything belono-Ine to it -t mentioned, W trust the. fine hoys from the Garv rbooi will tJtk" the conceit out of the whole bunch if it t at all possible to do it, and if they get half a chance believe thy will.

a memorandum of the law on this subject in winch, he -ays; "As an essential to the power to provide for tne public health, and prevent the spread of contagion, would seeni to be the right to take persons suffering therefrom to some place where they would not come In contact with the citizens' of the municipality and where the probability of their disease being communicated from them to others would be reduced to the minimum, the exercise of this power may involve the taking or a cltlaen from his own household. The power, however, of municipal and other quarantine authorities to seize and confine private citizens under such circumstances has been assumed to exist." Even if there were not sufficient laws on the statute books to sustain the position of the Attorney-General and the rules of the State boards of Health there is one rule regarding the right of the individual that must appeal muti- and more forcibly as, through the agency of the U. S. Public Health Service, the truth concerning the menace of the venereal diseases becomes more widely known. Th truth of the matter Is that the person, male or female, who has wittingly or unwittingly beourue in fected with venereal disease has no right comparable to that of the community in which he lives to see that he is cured as speedily as possible. We have got to realize in this country (he Great War helped us to realize it. that so far as their coramunicability is concerned the venereal diseases are in the same class as measles, diptheria, mallpox, which if not scientifically controlled and quarantined, may decimate whole communities. The right of the individual, if he is diseased, must be subordinated to the right of the men, women and children among whom he resides. President Wilson in the face of the facts concerning venereal diseases In the Army said: "It Is not an Army we have to make clean; It is a Nation." The experience of SurgeonGeneral Rupert Blue of the U. S. Public Health Service shows that to win to the Government's ideal of a country free from venereal disease, the work must begin by cleaning up the individual.

A LITTLE IMPROVEMENT. The unemployment situation shows some improvement this week when the whole country is considered. Reports, from Washington based on a report sent from each local office on Monday, shows that the number of unemployed has decreased nearly 9,000 since the report for the previous week. While tbvs may not be felt by each individual in our community who needs a job, yet. it is a hopeful sign. The offices at East Ch'caso has had calls for a number of first class machinists, tool makers, other skild labor, stenographers and cooks for which they had no qualified applicants nor had any been located at the time this article went to press. On the other side, stand a number of men for jobs in the semi-skilled line, clerks, both men and women for day work. etc. A numbpr ow women who want day work or janitor work at nieht or early worning, are carina: for their children now that thir husband are either out of work or sick. There are also some soldiers in our community who are still jobless. Use the U. S. Employment Service as a clearing house for the employers and those who want jobs.

IMPROVING ONE'S POLITICS. Here is an Idea worth repeating. It is by Will 11 Hays. national Republican committee chairman: "What we need In this country is not less politics, but more attention to politics. Tf the citizens of this country perform a citizen's duty and interest themselves in the politics of the nation, the right principles will be practical and alble and conscientious candidates elected." That is patriotic doctrine. In its expression we are reminded of the greatest text in the Bible, to-wit:: "If any man will do his will he shall know of the doctrine." It is the same in politics as it is in religion: if any man goes out and works for decent, hieh-minded. sober rd honorable politics he will easily get hold of the right principles. For really right doing Is the generator of right principles rather than right principles are the generator of right doing. Lst a man's life be clean brave, upward and pure and ten to one his doctrine will be alright. Good men make good politics and bad men make bad politics. We would hate to learn politics from a thief, a drunkard, a gambler or a ballot box stuffer.

WHAT WE ASK. The following limendmeat to the proposed constitu tion of the proposed League of Nations is offered by Senator Spencer, of Missouri: "Nothing contained in this conatitution of the League of Nations ia Intended to imply any relinquishment by the United States of Its traditional attitude towards purely American questions, nor is anything in this constitution c the League of Nation, to be regarded ai limiting In any sene the power conferred by the constitution of the United States upon congress."

We are not. at a" averse to a League of Nations so long as such a league does not imnose upon us burdens dictated by foreipn powers, and does not interfere with the proper functioning of our federal constkution.
